House Republicans Tried to Impeach Griswold; They Had NO Talking Points
As we noted on Thursday, House Republicans made a lame attempt to convince House Speaker Julie McCluskie to allow them to waste yet more of the legislature’s time by attempting to discuss impeachment proceedings for Secretary of State Jena Griswold. Republicans love to publicly attack Griswold because it makes their election fraud-obsessed MAGA base all […]
Boebert Hangs With Expelled Bestie George Santos at SOTU
As ABC News reports–although Colorado’s struggling Rep. Lauren Boebert didn’t manage to disrupt President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address last night as feared, ceding the spotlight in that regard to a MAGA hat-wearing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Boebert did raise some eyebrows for her deja vu-inducing face time with none other than expelled […]
Boebert’s Big (Last?) Chance To Disrupt The State of the Union
Via Raw Story’s Brad Reed, former Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, now a talking head for the Fox News Channel with a reputation for taking the occasional dunk on his former Republican colleagues, speculates about one of the things we’re also pondering–in what could be Rep.

Ron Hanks is Back, Baby!
We know, we know: It totally does seem like Republican Ron Hanks has been around FOR-EV-ER. But his 2024 campaign for Congress in CO-03 is only his third campaign in the last three election cycles (State House in 2020, U.S. Senate in 2022).

Arizona’s Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Bows Out
We interrupt our coverage of Colorado political news for this big story from our caddy-corner neighbor to the southwest: Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who disaffiliated from the Democratic Party after emerging as a major roadblock to the Senate majority’s agenda two years ago, will retire instead of running for another term. Washington Post: Sen. Kyrsten […]
“Skin” DeGraaf Turns Aerospace Day Into Morally Impoverished Farce
Today is Aerospace Day at the Colorado State Capitol, and some of the major defense and space exploration companies with Colorado ties are in the building today handing out cool swag like the United Launch Alliance’s “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” keychains and general goodwill on behalf of the economically significant military-space-industrial complex. Not surprisingly, some left-leaning […]
Why MAGA Insurrectionists Shouldn’t Crow Too Much About Today’s SCOTUS Ruling
Today’s unanimous decision by the U.S. Supreme Court striking down the disqualification of Donald Trump from Colorado’s presidential primary ballot is being celebrated at maximum volume by the ex-President’s supporters, another consequence that Trump’s opponents had been steeling for as the expected outcome for over two months since the Colorado Supreme Court’s historic initial ruling.
